Reported shutdown of CATL’s Jiangxi mine ⛏ Reports that the world’s largest #battery producer CATL has shut a lithium mine in central China, due to falling prices, could trigger a significant cut to market supply if confirmed. Chinese brokerages have reported that CATL had stopped production at its Jianxiawo mine in Jiangxi province, due to the fact that lithium prices were below its cash cost of production. If the closure is confirmed, it would demonstrate the difficulties facing Chinese mica #mines in the current low price environment - even those that are owned by larger companies such as CATL. ⬇ Benchmark Source shares what this potential development could mean for the #lithium market - read more below: https://lnkd.in/ePKsu_PY Not subscribed to Benchmark Source?

🔋 Giga APAC Day 2 🔋 In this morning’s opening keynote, Liontown Resources Limited's Chief Commercial Officer, Grant Donald, highlighted the importance of industry partnerships and key challenges to overcome in meeting 2040 demand. Grant shared: “There isn’t a raw material that is harder to finance than #lithium. And that’s because of volatility in pricing.” Grant was then joined by Benchmark's Lithium Product Director Dr Cameron Perks. The pair discussed the pros and cons of various funding sources, recognising the need for #mining companies to find bespoke financing solutions.

🌍 EU more than halves proposed import duties on Tesla EVs made in China Tesla has secured a significantly lower import tariff than rival #electricvehicle makers following the European Union’s (EU) recent decision to revise the import duties on China-made EVs entering the region. The EU said Tesla EVs imported from China will now draw an additional import tariff of 9% down from the initially proposed 20.8%, a decision the EU’s enforcement arm announced in July.
